Keyboard Shortcuts & Tips
Command bar, hotkeys, and power user tips for maximum efficiency.
Overview
Thrive is built for keyboard-first workflows. Every major navigation action, search, and command can be executed without touching the mouse. This page documents every keyboard shortcut available on the platform. Shortcuts are listed with macOS keys first, followed by Windows/Linux equivalents in parentheses.
The only shortcut you need to memorize
Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux). The command bar is a universal gateway to every page, action, and search on the platform. It covers 90% of navigation needs.Global Shortcuts

| Escape | Close the currently open modal, panel, dropdown, or command bar. Press repeatedly to dismiss nested overlays. |
| Cmd+/ (Ctrl+/) | Toggle the keyboard shortcuts reference overlay. Shows all available shortcuts for the current page context. |
| [ (left bracket) | Collapse or expand the sidebar. Toggles between the 220px expanded and 60px icon-only modes. |

Sequence shortcuts
Quick Asset Search
The fastest way to navigate to an asset is through the command bar. These patterns are optimized for speed.
| Cmd+K then type ticker | Type a ticker symbol (BTC, ETH, SOL) to instantly filter to that asset. Press Enter to navigate to its detail page. |
| Cmd+K then type name | Type a full token name (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) for fuzzy matching. Results ranked by relevance. |
| / (forward slash) | Focus the search input on the current page (if one exists). Works on the screener, watchlist, and signals pages. |
Command Bar Actions
The command bar supports action commands in addition to navigation. Type these phrases to trigger actions directly.
| "create alert" | Opens the alert builder with no asset pre-selected. |
| "create alert BTC" | Opens the alert builder with BTC pre-selected as the target asset. |
| "new journal entry" | Opens the trade journal entry form for manual trade logging. |
| "view credits" | Opens the credit usage dashboard. |
| "open settings" | Navigates directly to the Settings page. |
| "export trades" | Triggers the trade journal export dialog. |
| "theme" or "display" | Navigates to display settings for theme and density configuration. |
Table and List Navigation
When focused on a data table (screener, watchlist, signals, alerts), these shortcuts let you navigate and interact with rows without the mouse.
| Arrow Up / Down | Move focus to the previous or next row in the table. |
| Enter | Open the detail view for the currently focused row (e.g., navigate to an asset page or expand a signal). |
| Space | Toggle the focused row selection (when multi-select is enabled, such as batch alert management). |
| Home / End | Jump to the first or last row in the table. |
| Cmd+A (Ctrl+A) | Select all rows (when multi-select is enabled). |
Research desk Shortcuts
The research desk has its own set of shortcuts optimized for notebook editing, query execution, and cell management.
| Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter) | Execute the current cell (SQL, Python, or formula). The primary action shortcut in the research desk. |
| Shift+Enter | Execute the current cell and move focus to the next cell. Creates a new cell if at the end of the notebook. |
| Cmd+Shift+Enter | Execute all cells in the notebook sequentially from top to bottom. |
| Alt+Enter | Insert a new cell below the current cell. |
| Cmd+Shift+D | Duplicate the current cell. |
| Cmd+Shift+Backspace | Delete the current cell (with confirmation prompt). |
| Cmd+S (Ctrl+S) | Save the current notebook. Notebooks auto-save on a 30-second interval, but this triggers an immediate save. |
| Cmd+Shift+P | Open the cell type picker to change the current cell type (SQL, Python, AI, Markdown, Formula). |
Chart Interaction Shortcuts
When a chart is focused (click on any chart to focus it), these shortcuts control the view and zoom level.
| Scroll wheel | Zoom in and out on the time axis. Zoom is centered on the cursor position. |
| Click and drag | Pan the chart view left or right along the time axis. |
| Double-click | Reset the chart to its default zoom level and time range. |
| R | Refresh the chart data. Fetches the latest data point without reloading the page. |
| 1 / 4 / D / W / M | Switch chart timeframe to 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, weekly, or monthly (when the chart supports timeframe switching). |
Customizing Shortcuts
At this time, keyboard shortcuts are not customizable. The default key bindings are designed to avoid conflicts with common browser and operating system shortcuts. If you experience a conflict with a browser extension or OS shortcut, the command bar (Cmd+K) serves as a universal fallback for all navigation and actions.
